18 Weeks

Dear Aaron,

Hi peanut, Happy 18 week Heaven Day! I realize a few days ago was also the 4 month mark. It's hard to think right now if you were still here we'd have a "5" month old at home (you'd be 5 months old, but probably more on track with 2 months since you were so premature). I wonder where you would stand developmentally - would you be smiling etc. or still very newborn like? Would you have other outstanding health issues? I guess I really don't have to worry about all that. I know now you are absolutely perfect.

Today I got a really neat gift in memory of you. The PR/Advertising firm I work with through work named a star in the international Star Registry after you. The naming date was dated for your birthday 4-28-06. What a cool thing on a nice starry night to be able to look up and know there is a star up there named after you. What a wonderful way to just make us stop and remember you.

I spoke earlier this week at a Golf Tournament about our story and why you were born so early etc. It was a very nice event. Telling the story was a little harder than I thought it might be. When I looked up and saw a lot of the men crying in choked me up. I guess I never realized our story had that much of an impact on others (outside of family and friends etc.) I want to do my part to make sure other mommies and babies don't have to be apart from each other and I want people to know you and know what a sweet little baby you are! Since I can't show you off I'll just talk about you! I love you Aaron! Meet me in my dream:)

Love you more than than the number of stars in the sky,
Mommy
XOXO

Precious baby Aaron is our star! Nikki told me about this gift earlier today - as she told me, I turned to look out my office window and a butterfly was fluttering right in front of my window. The signs we see that remind us of Aaron are numerous and amazing.

Love to all of you. Mom W

I wish I could have heard your speech, Nikki. I knew you would do an amazing job talking about Aaron and raising awareness for such an important cause.

There won't be a starry night that goes by that we won't think of our little Aaron! He certainly was a star and we can see that star in your eye every time you talk about him.

Love you,
